Let's not forget how much it cost John Q. Public to prosecute, defend, and, after conviction, feed, house, and clothe the prisoner.
Absolutely, she should be prosecuted in some form!!

Look, I agree with the fact that she should probably be punished, but this argument is pretty weak - "He might have been raped in prison"? wow.
However, good point about the cost - it costs around $22 a day to keep a prisoner in jail here, so feel free to do the math, I bet it's absurd.
